I've been researching a holiday over the South Downs and something piqued my interest (not in a good way!).
There seem to be several bus stops that look abandoned and seem downright dangerous.
Take this one on the A24. It's Washington Bostal (S)
Google shows there is a bus stop there and shows that three different bus routes stop there and will plan routes from there. It will also show routes going to Washington Bostal (N) which is in a more sensible location a two minute walk from there for routes in the opposite direction.
Is it a stop or not? And, if it is, how awful is this stop? I can't imagine anyone uses it.
Here is the same location is 2009. A lot more like a real stop, but still rather dangerous IMO. Google Streetview shows the stop on its own sign in 2014 and attached to the other sign when it next passed in 2020.
